When you’re making a film you have to make most of your decisions on the run, and there is a tendency to always shoot from the hip. It takes more discipline than you might imagine to think, even for thirty seconds, in the noisy, confusing, high-pressure atmosphere of a film set, But a few seconds’ thought can often prevent a serious mistake being made about something that looks good at first glance. With respect to films, chess is more useful preventing you from making mistakes than giving you ideas. Ideas come spontaneously and the discipline required to evaluate and put them to use tends to be the real work.

A first look at the high-ish quality Blu Ray version of Manos, Hands of Fate
A while back, we told you about an original print of Manos, Hands of Fate that had been discovered. The current version you’ll find, like the one used on MST3K is a really bad video taped version, as it was assumed all the original film prints had been destroyed. But one survived and it’s currently in the process of being converted to DVD and Blu Ray quality for your craptastic movie enjoyment.
Finally digging into Against the Day. So far, so good, Pynchon. Way to convincingly use “absquatulate” in a sentence.
